Sniping Dinfols with bomb arrows is fun. >D

Is it Dinolfos or Dinofols? I'd like to think the former, since it's consistent with Lizalfos.

*searches WikiPedia*

It says Dinolfos for OoT, Dinofols for MM, and Dynalfos for TP. I wonder why the difference?

Anyways, yeah, I do the same as you. But, if you knock it down and press A at just the right time, you can do the finishing move on it; usually it gets up too fast, but not if you're faster.

[DarkFlameWolf]

yes, finishing moves can be performed on a Dynalfos, but you must be insanely quick.

Dynalfos can be destroyed by Bomb arrows. But, you have to time it carefully before they see you, otherwise, they'll block it with it's shield.

Just thought of something. Does anyone else know about the torch trick in the cave?

I never heard of that.

Use the Gale Boomerang on the torches when you enter a room. Take them both out, and you'll open the door in the next room. Meaning you only have to fight like, four or five battles to make it to the end

I'm not sure about the first time you visit, but I did that after I completed the second run through the cave

Lol, just beat it the third time, but this time, I use the Infinate Arrow Glitch.
hehe, mass arrows sniping!
I think I use hookshot a lot. I'm not sure... but the third time I used all out bomb arrows.

That reminds me, I still need to get to that three-heart challenge (plus other restrictions). That was discussed a long time ago. Don't know if anybody (besides HappyPuppet) actually finished the challenge, but I'd like to join the ranks.

If you don't recall, the challenge was three hearts, no shield, no bottles, no hidden skills (besides finishing move), and no magic armor. I think that's it... don't remember exactly. I'm sure some people would argue that you should put the Zora armor on, but at that point, you're adding things you have to do rather than taking away things.

[DarkFlameWolf]

well, the Zora Armor doesn't really add any extra protection, and in fact decreases your resistance to ice and fire, so other than breathing underwater, its more of a hinderance then a boon. So I don't see why getting Zora Armor would break that challenge.

I don't do those challenges. I just do speed runs. My last was about 18 hours, exactly. I think there's a faster way, though. I still did some of the sidequests, so I could probably chop the time down considerably if I skip the small stuff and just do the big stuff.

I'm considering starting a three-heart run, now that you bring that back up.

O RLY? Dude, I just thought you play the game normally, without picking up any HC's or HCP's. Oh, and you can't go through TP without getting the first bottle: you have to get a fish for the cat, to throw Sera off her slump. Sera then gives you the first bottle. It's the only way to get the Slingshot, which you need to beat the game. And, unless you mean to get the shield burned away in the Goron Mines, there's no way to progress without the shield, either.

But it IS possible to go without learning the hidden skills.
